Hello, good morning …. I miss the early morning sunrises.
Yesterday was the OFFICIAL day of FALL / Autumn.
My tree out front has almost entirely turned to a beautiful yellow.
Some of the leaves have fallen to the ground covering the green grass with a crunchy yellow gold blanket.
I do love the colours of fall.
Warm and rich.
I am going to stay positive with the hope that the weather will hold for a few more weeks at least.
It would be wonderful if the days would remain the same as this past weekend.
We had in the mid 20 degree days with lots of sunshine.
So beautiful.
I am so grateful that we had lots of walks.
I had extra ones with my grand pups here on Saturday.
I was looking at my flowers in the front and back raised beds and the ones on the deck.
Soon it will be time to trim them back.
Soon I guess with a tear in my eye it will be time to put away the patio furniture and prepare for that next season.
There was not even a day (except for last weekend) to put out the white and blue patterned pillows for the second patio set.
They remained in bags in the garage all summer long.
Our summer was more like a combination of spring and fall with flowers.
My SNAPDRAGONS insist with the recent sunshine to bloom in all their glory.
A beautiful site to behold.
The marigolds are doing quite well, too.
On this Tuesday, I think about how very blessed I am.
I live in my very own home.
I have Alvin as my steadfast companion.
I am surrounded by great friends and neighbors.
I have the best family on the planet.
I am employed.
I am in good health.
Feeling very happy and blessed.
Remember most people and animals are drawn to those who are kind and respectful.
Why not take the time, make the time.
To treat every being you encounter with kindness and respect.
Why not?
Always, Carol & Alvin
